Introduction
If you're considering hiring me for a UX/UI project but aren't a designer yourself, it's natural to have questions. 'Why don't we start by designing the colorful screens right away?' or 'What are these wireframes?' are common thoughts.
I created this guide to show you exactly how I work. My goal is for you, my client, to understand each stage of the process, know how you can contribute, and see how my approach leads to an efficient final product for your business
1. Our First Step Together: The Discovery Phase
What it is: Before any sketching, I dive deep into your business. This is our joint investigation phase.
What we'll do:
In-depth conversations about your goals, target audience, and the problems you want to solve.
Competitor analysis, together.
Clearly defining what "success" means for your project.
Why this step is crucial: Starting design without this foundation is like building on sand. This solid base saves us time and prevents rework later.
2. Building the Structure: Architecture & Wireframes
What it is: Here, we create the "skeleton" of your product. These are layouts focused on structure, not aesthetics.
What you'll see from me:
Wireframes: Simple diagrams showing the layout of elements.
User Flow Maps: Schematics of the user's journey.
Why I start here: This ensures the experience is logical before we invest in visuals. It's easier to adjust the structure now than to redesign finished screens later.
3. Testing Before Building: Interactive Prototype
What it is: A clickable simulation of your product—it feels real, but it's a model.
What I'll deliver:
A link to test the prototype as if it were the final product.
Why this is a valuable investment: We identify usability issues before development begins, saving valuable resources.
4. Bringing the Project to Life: User Interface (UI) Design
What it is: The stage where we apply your business's visual identity.
What you'll receive:
Final, visually appealing screens, ready for development.
A Style Guide documenting all design decisions.
My philosophy: First, we make it work well (UX), then we make it beautiful (UI).
5. An Ongoing Partnership: Development Support
What it is: My commitment continues after the screens are delivered.
How I work in this phase:
Direct collaboration with your developers.
Reviewing implementations to ensure they match the design.
Why this matters: I ensure the design quality is maintained in the final product.
Conclusion: Working Together
A successful project depends on our partnership. I bring my design expertise, but your knowledge of your business is essential. Your feedback at every stage is what makes the final result truly exceptional.
When you hire me, you're not just hiring a designer—you're gaining a strategic partner for your digital project.
This is how I work: transparent, collaborative, and focused on results. If you're looking for a designer who truly understands business and delivers a clear process, let's talk about your project!"
